The Topology of Stiefel Manifolds / I. M. James. - Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 1977. - 1 online resource (180 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). - London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series ; no. 24 . - London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series ; no. 24. .
Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 16 Oct 2015).
Stiefel manifolds are an interesting family of spaces much studied by algebraic topologists. These notes, which originated in a course given at Harvard University, describe the state of knowledge of the subject, as well as the outstanding problems. The emphasis throughout is on applications (within the subject) rather than on theory. However, such theory as is required is summarized and references to the literature are given, thus making the book accessible to non-specialists and particularly graduate students. Many examples are given and further problems suggested.
